What the Hell is this...
So for starters, I've never really put much effort into deck descriptions. I've Basically been a background/shadow account that puts a deck up, just so I have them, and once-in-a-while cycle a deck to see if anyone has anything to say about it. Most of the time it returns nothing. But for this piece of beauty, I feel like it needs some attention. Also to note it's my first time going for some kind of formatting, so if you have any other tips on this, that'd be sweet .
I'm always looking for a strange, unique deck to play and this thing looks promising.
I'm a huge, HUGE fan of Time Walk effects and this deck packs 'em in. Time Warp, Temporal Mastery, and Walk the Aeons are the three we are using right now. I know, I can see the questions now,
"But they all cost 5+ mana to cast, and you can't rely on Temporal Mastery off the top with only one set-up card!"
- Uncultured Swine
Yes, they do all cost some bit of mana, but that's what the other cards are in the deck for!
Stalling.
Remand, Boomerang, Cryptic Command, and I'm considering Repeal, Unsummon, and Cyclonic Rift in some numbers to help stall out the game until we hit that magical 5 mana for our first Time Warp.
So what do we do with all of these extra turns?!? Simple.
Draw. Cards.
Howling Mine does exactly what we want to do here, the minor draw back of giving your opponent a few extra cards will be non-existant when you begin to chain your extra turns together and end up taking 6 to 7 turns, drawing anywhere from 12-30 cards in those turns.
Another card that helps us here is Jace Beleren. You can use the same argument for Jace as you can for the Mine. It simply won't matter after an activation or two.
The End Game
Now that we've taken a few extra turns, and have basically depleted our deck we have a few options.
1) Cast Laboratory Maniac and win the game.
OR
2) Cast and crack Elixir of Immortality because the possibly removed our Maniac, or just because we felt like we didn't take enough turns.
What I want to do with this.
I plan on building this. I plan on playing this. It might not win 100% of the time, but hell it looks like too much fun to not play.
If anyone has anything to say about this deck, (here's a good card, man this is funny, I think this deck is bad and you should feel bad, I hate Remand, counter magic is degenerate, I loathe blue mages.) please let me know in the comments section below.

It's true that I didn't come up with this myself, but I feel the need to get this deck out to as many people as possible. I feel that this deck an absolute blast to play and I believe it could be better (since I've swapped out Slight of Hand for Boomerang) and the more people viewing this, the better the deck could become!
